Simulation of Difficulty Algorithms for Chainweb

The simulation model supports different difficulty adjustment algorithms for network with more than a single hash function. It also support scenarios where chains start out with different difficulties.

Currently, only simulation results for networks with a single hash algorithm and identical initial difficulties for all chains are included.
